Hardcover. Zustand: Good. First Edition. Octavo, 441 pages, black cloth, pictorial endpapers Schwezoff wrote this autobiography at age 30, but he lived another thirty accomplished years. This Soviet ballet dancer worked around the world, danced in Nijinska's company, began his own Ballet Igor Schwezoff, became a dancer for the Original Ballet Russe, did choreography for the New York City Center Opera and elseqhere, and taught at the Ballet Theatre School of New York City. Signed with his Cyrillic autograph by Schwezoff on the title-page. Illustrations by David Grey, who is also the dedicatee of this book. More than an autobiography, Schwezoff wanted to tell the world what life was like for people in the Soviet Union in the era after the revolution, and before he defected. This work bested 900 other applicants to win the prize for the best English-language autobiography submitted to H&S for 1934. He learned this harsh lesson: "It was a lesson to me not to take too much on my shoulders in future and never, never to leave the box-office unsurveyed !" -p.210.

First edition (?). 12mo. 20 pp. (11 pages of text and 9 pages of press notices, reviews of Schwezoff writings and his performances as dancer and/or choreographer for the Original Ballet Russe and other companies). The text represents, in part, Schwezoff's "personal ideas of what is good in the art of the dance." Schwezoff (1904-1982) studied in Leningrad before leaving the Soviet Union in 1930, spending the ensuing decade in Europe performing with a number of companies; he migrated to the United States in 1940, became a citizen in 1945, and taught in New York or Washington until his death. His papers are held by the New York Public Library. OCLC locates two copies (New York Public, Brown). Very good. Original glossy wrappers, illustrated with a portrait of Schwezoff, stapled. (9728).
